Desmond Trufant missed the Falcons’ Super Bowl run last year because of a pectoral injury.
He’s making up for lost time this season.
The Falcons cornerback was named NFC defensive player of the week for a pair of game-changing plays against the Packers last week.
Trufant picked off a pass which led to points before halftime, and then returned a fumble for a touchdown in the third quarter, effectively ending things.
The Falcons gave him a five-year, $69 million contract extension this offseason, and he showed Sunday night that he’s worth it.
